San Mateo County Health

California State law Section 118286 of the California Health and Safety Code makes it illegal to dispose of sharps waste in the trash or recycling bins, and requires that all sharps waste be transported to a collection center in an approved sharps container. This includes:

• Hypodermic needles
• Pen needles, intravenous needles
• Lancets
• Other devices that are used to penetrate the skin, for the delivery of medications

REMOVE BATTERIES FIRST: Please remove all batteries from your injection, monitoring, or sensor devices prior to disposing of them in a public sharps receptacle. Failure to do so may lead to an explosion downstream during the handling, transportation, or disposal chain.
